The interlaced-pair conjecture for ghost distributions

Let (g,k)(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k}) be a supersymmetric pair, let a\mathfrak{a} be a chosen Cartan subspace, and let Δ\overline{\Delta} be its reduced root system with restricted Weyl vector ρ\overline{\rho}. Set Δev=Δ0{0}\overline{\Delta}_{ev}=\overline{\Delta_{\overline{0}}}\setminus\{0\} and Δodd=ΔΔev\overline{\Delta}_{odd}=\overline{\Delta}\setminus\overline{\Delta}_{ev}. For αΔev\alpha\in\overline{\Delta}_{ev}, let rαr_{\alpha} be the corresponding reflection, and let WW be the subgroup of GL(a)GL(\mathfrak{a}) generated by these reflections. For pS(a)p\in S(\mathfrak{a}) and wWw\in W, define (w.p)(λ)=p(w(λ+ρ)ρ)(w.p)(\lambda)=p(w(\lambda+\overline{\rho})-\overline{\rho}). The interlaced-pair conjecture. If (g,k)(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k}) is interlaced, then HC(A(g,k))HC(\mathcal{A}_{(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k})}) is the set of pS(a)p\in S(\mathfrak{a}) such that: for every αΔev\alpha\in\overline{\Delta}_{ev}, with nα=12dim(gα)1n_{\alpha}=\frac{1}{2}\operatorname{dim}(\mathfrak{g}_{\alpha})_{\overline{1}}, (rα.p)=(1)nαp(r_{\alpha}.p)=(-1)^{n_{\alpha}}p; and, for every αΔodd\alpha\in\overline{\Delta}_{odd} and every λ\lambda satisfying (λ+ρ,α)=0(\lambda+\overline{\rho},\alpha)=0,

p(λ+rα)=(1)rp(λrα)p(\lambda+r\alpha)=(-1)^r p(\lambda-r\alpha)

for 1r12dim(gα)11\leq r\leq\frac{1}{2}\operatorname{dim}(\mathfrak{g}_{\alpha})_{\overline{1}}. This gives a conjectural description of the Harish–Chandra image for interlaced pairs; the source does not provide evidence that it has been proved or refuted.
